How long is the process for prior service to re-join with an RE code 1 and changing MOS?

I was 13B, looking at the business rules I see 88N open for E-5. I have no criminal records/driving records, no tattoos. I don't think I need any waivers. I know the process varies for everyone, but I just want to have an estimate.

Shouldn't take long. When I was a Prior Service coming back in with a break in service, it took a total of about 2 months (mainly because I had to lose some weight). If all your ducks are in a row....it shouldn't even take that long

Prior service are considered top priority, though I wasn't in the army prior (Marines) it took about 4 months for me, only because right after I got out I injured my foot.

It all depends on how long you have been out. Your background may be quick, or not. It also depends on the frequency of available training seats. The important thing is to ensure you are in shape as you will be heading back to AIT. You want to set an example for the new Recruits. Thank you for your service.

Make sure your recruiter submit a waiver for you to retain your E5.
